Due to Academia(.)edu licensing agreement, which permits the use of your likeness, voice, and publications in any manner they choose, I, like many others, have decided to leave the platform. You can now find my research on ResearchGate instead.

Academia.edu - Find Research Papers, Topics, Researchers Academia.edu is the platform to share, find, and explore 50 Million research papers. Join us to accelerate your research needs & academic interests.

Thanks to the warnings by my colleague Titus Stahl (who is really well-versed in these things), I've just deleted my academia.edu account. Their new terms and conditions are horrible in terms of data use. If you're on that platform, reconsider, or at least read the new conditions carefully...

Been talking nonstop about this shameful episode for the past two days & this point needs to be underscored: It's the culmination of longstanding structural defects in our media, not simply the bad actions of bad actors. What happened to Jimmy Kimmel is a downstream manifestation of systemic probs:

Carl Becker, 1922

Carl Becker (1922) on Bentham's utilitarianism as anti-revolutionary

(1/6) www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067.... Self-promotion is not my thing, and yet today I’ll engage in it a bit - because The Democratic Marketplace is officially out today, at least in the US (the Dutch version will come out later this month).

Hugely important topic in media criticism

Via @brianstelter.bsky.social: The Financial Times recently dubbed it "the great crime paradox:" Violent crime rates are falling, both in the US and the UK, "but a growing share of people think levels are rising."

"“The basic theory of departmentalism is that while the Supreme Court has the authority to exercise its Article III ‘judicial Power’ in cases or controversies before it,” Mr. Goldsmith wrote, “the President’s Article II duty to ‘take care that the law be faithfully executed’ gives him an independent power to determine what ‘the law,’ including the Constitution, means, for purposes of exercising executive power.” Alexander Hamilton, writing in the Federalist Papers, described that possibility as one of the main checks on the judiciary created by the constitutional system of divided powers. The general merits of departmentalism are much debated. It is strong medicine that risks doing more harm than good overall, and that by its nature requires controversial judgments by the executive."

As if concerned some reader-in-the-know might mistake his op-ed for error, rather than fraud upon a reading public, here Vermeule is to be seen conspicuously capering & clicking his heels, in evident mischievous self-delight at such achievement of sheer sophistry. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/o...

I cut this image out of a sale catalogue years ago. Never been able to find its source since (and I have tried a lot!).

If you know where it is from, I'd be thrilled to find out.

Populismo ebrio: cómo la industria del alcohol blanquea sus efectos con la ayuda de medios y políticos Mientras dirigentes como Ayuso trivializan el consumo de vino o cerveza, cierta prensa quita hierro a sus probados perjuicios. Una nueva guía ayuda a distinguir la información veraz sobre el alcohol

Un fenómeno interesante del que habla @juanrevenga.bsky.social hoy en @elcomidista.bsky.social: los políticos, medios e influencers que minimizan los efectos de las bebidas alcohólicas en connivencia con su industria. Lo hemos llamado "populismo ebrio" elpais.com/gastronomia/...

Hell and furies! I am again out-witted, and by a woman too!

One of the funniest things I've read in an early Gothic novel.

Our henchman has found the persecuted orphan he's been sent to pursue.

He stops to write a multi-page epic account of his discovery to his master.

Meanwhile, she escapes.

An early example of the villain monologue gone tits up.

Quitándole algo de mérito laclauniano a Sánchez… También está la cosa del miedo desigual a un gobierno extrema derecha… y la percepción entre las izquierdas fuera del PSOE de que Sánchez es el único candidato electoral viable para renovar una coalición de gobierno que prevenga esa opción…

(😩)

Sánchez ya no es solo el líder del PSOE: fundió el sentido común de los ciclos de impugnación del 2011-2015 y 2027-2019 con su figura. Por eso, Sumar y los nacionalistas lo respaldan más que el propio PSOE. Las izquierdas han ligado su suerte a la suya.

Sorry, kids. Prepare to be SHOCKED and OFFENDED by the high levels of rural proletarianization in seventeenth-century England.

En su etapa como director adjunto de El País, este señor me censuró una columna y me presionó repetidas veces para que dejáramos de hacer artículos críticos con las grandes empresas de alimentación en El Comidista. Que le echaran fue una auténtica liberación (en el diario le llamaban "King Joffrey")
